Orb of Night is a warm, creamy gourmand with a distinct cherry-almond-caramel heart. It opens with a bright burst of citrus and mandarin, quickly blending into a soft, enveloping sweetness dominated by almond, caramel, and cherry tones. The white floral and ylang-ylang notes add a gentle floral haze, while sandalwood and ambergris lend a subtle, musky depth that grounds the fragrance. The overall impression is that of a well-blended summer-sweet, slightly nutty scent with a powdery musk finish, evoking warm cookies, aged apple tarts, and late-night desert escapist vibes. It's labeled as ultra-feminine and fits well into a winter or autumn wardrobe, though it performs best as a night-time fragrance due to its gourmand sweetness and soft sillage. Most wearers describe it as soft, comforting, and wearable on the go—it’s not intimidating or overwhelming, but it doesn’t project strongly either. Longevity is moderate on skin and long on fabric, though it fades fairly quickly after four to five hours. Its softness and consistency are praised, making it an ideal everyday scent for those who like light, sweet, and cozy gourmands with a hint of mystery.
